Delivered to your door — boxes for healthy living
FOR WOMEN Pink parcel, from £12.99, pink-parcel.com
A MONTHLY package to support women during their periods, this can be personalised to contain around 25 things, including all the tampons, sanitary pads and liners needed for the month; as well as treats including face masks, chocolate and herbal teas.
FOR TEETH Brushbox, from £3.50, brushbox.com
MOST of us don’t replace our toothbrush often enough. Brushbox delivers toothbrushes and a two-month supply of toothpaste every other month — you can order for one person or for your whole family.
FOR HOSPITAL STAYS Healing boxes, from £12.50, healing-boxes.com
THE idea is these boxes are sent to those going through a hard time: you can customise, or pick from readymade packages that include ‘the Hospital Healing Box’, ‘Traumatic Brain Injury Care Kit’ or subscribe to receive a ‘Self-care Subscription Box’ every three months. Products include anti-bacterial socks, earplugs, sleep masks, lip balm and hand lotion.
FOR MENTAL HEALTH The Buddy Box, from £21.50, blurtitout.org
THIS can be bought as a oneoff gift or delivered each month and contains at least five different items designed to help calm, raise a smile or reduce stress.
The contents of the box are a surprise each month but include things such as scented candles, self-help books and craft activities.
FOR SNACKS Lifebox, from £14.95, lifeboxfood.com
DELIVERED once a month, or ordered as a oneoff, these are described by the maker as a ‘lovingly curated collection’ of healthy food and drink. All the products are made without refined added sugar, are gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan. Each monthly box contains around 12 different products — such as vegetable crisps and ‘superfood’ flapjacks.
